Chapter 14
Friends…Or Enemies?
Don shook his head, trying to stomach what he was witnessing. "How could you?" he growled.
Jake pulled away, sharply and gasped upon seeing Donatello standing in front of them. Marsha also looked a bit shocked…then, she crossed her arms in front of her.
"Don, it's not what it looks like, I swear!" Jake started.
"Oh, really?" he stepped forward and grabbed Marsha's arm. "I'm taking you back right now, Marsha."
"You can't!" she declared, stopping him dead in his tracks. "You can't have me back, cause Jakey and I are mates!"
Jake groaned, upon hearing this. "You double-crossing Kat!" Don hissed and lunged for Jake, wrapping his hands around his throat.
Chance shook his head as he heard noises coming from Jake's room…then shouting. "What in Mega Kat City is going on up there?" he wondered and headed up to Jake's room, where he poked his head inside the door. "What, the?" he stepped fully inside the room and tried to pry Don off of Jake.
"Don, what are you trying to do, kill him?" he asked, looking over at Jake, who rubbed his sore throat. "You okay, buddy?" he asked him.
Jake only nodded. "He stole Marsha from me!" Don hissed, still a bit ticked off.
"Ah, crud…" Chance muttered.
"He didn't steal me away from you! You never came back for me. Jake comforted me and we mated! That was over a year ago!" Marsha explained.
"A…a yea-year ago?" Don stammered, looking a bit dazed.
"Come on, Don…let's go downstairs. I'll explain what happened on the way," Chance urged.
"Hmm…she appears fine to me, boys. She does feel a little cold, though…" Dark Kat murmured.
Jake smirked. "I'll keep her warm tonight," he gave Marsha a smile.
Marsha cringed at the thought. What's wrong with them? Am I in the wrong dimension, or something? She thought.
"Yes, well…you do that, Jake. Tomorrow, I want you and Chance to steal the Detonator from Puma Dyne Labs and bring it to me. We will then proceed with our plans on destroying the Enforcers!" Dark Kat declared, then laughed.
Steal? Now I know I must be in the wrong dimension! Jake and Chance would never steal…and they would never join sides with Dark Kat! Marsha thought.
"Come on, babes. Chance, we're turning in for the night," Jake announced, picking her up in his arms.
"I can walk just fine, you know!" she spat at him.
"Oooh…someone's a feisty She-Kat tonight…" Jake chuckled.
When they entered his room, he set her down on her feet and closed the door. "Um…why don't we just leave the door open tonight…or we could open a window?" Marsha suggested, nervously as he neared her. She didn't like this Jake. He was a bit too aggressive than the normal Jake.
"No, no, no. Chance wouldn't like that. He's a light sleeper, you know," he whispered, leaning in for another kiss.
"She's where!" Don shrieked, making the real Jake jump. He told Marsha he was going downstairs for some milk and would be back up in a few minutes…which was, of course, a lie.
"Calm down. We're going to go looking for her, don't worry. As for you…you should get back to your own dimension," Chance replied.
"I can't…at least not until three days pass," Don started.
"Well, then you'll stay here while we go look for our Marsha," Jake cut in.
"Excuse me?" Don asked, sharply. He wasn't sure if he heard Jake right. "What did you call her?"
Jake took a few steps back. "Our…Marsha?" he gave him a weak smile. Chance shook his head at the two.
"Don, before you get any ideas, he meant our Dimension Marsha. The Marsha upstairs belongs in the Dark Aged Mega Kat City," Chance interrupted.
"Oh…" Don muttered and sat back.
"Come on, Jake. We better get in the Turbo Kat and start looking for her before the other Marsha begins to get suspicious, and starts to wonder why you're not up there, cuddling her," Chance chuckled, then realized Don was still there. "Oh, crud…I'm sorry Don, it was a joke."
"I know, Chance. I just can't believe that I might actually lose her to this world," he muttered.
"Come on, Don…don't think like that. You'll get your girl back and we can all get on with our lives…right, Jake?"
Jake kept his gaze on the ground and just nodded. "Right…" he muttered. The truth was that he actually loved Marsha, only he didn't want Don to know or he would be at his throat again, strangling him.
As they left for the hangar, Jake pulled Chance aside. "Um…Chance? I want to go look for her…alone," he told him.
"What, are you mad? Like I'm really gonna let you pilot the TurboKat! Besides…you're going to need help, you know you can't fight my alternate half and your alternate half at the same time, buddy…Jake, what's wrong with you tonight?" Chance asked, staring at him with concern.
Jake shook his head, his gaze cast downwards. "I…it's nothing, Chance…I'm just worried about her, that's all…" he mumbled as he put his uniform and helmet on and climbed in the jet.
Chance shook his head. Ah, Jake, why can't you just come out and say it? You really have fallen in love with Don's girl… Chance thought as he climbed into the jet as well.
"Hey, Razor…when we do manage to save her, why don't you just tell her how you feel about her?" T-Bone asked as he piloted the TurboKat over Mega Kat City.
"What? What are you talking about?" Razor asked him, a bit surprised that he noticed.
"You can't hide it in forever, buddy. Besides, it written all over your face: Marsha, I Love You!" T-Bone laughed as he saw Razor's face turn crimson out of the corner of his eyes.
"Shut it, T-Bone, I don't want anymore trouble from Don…he doesn't trust me as it is."
"Ah, he'll come around…as soon as he sees Marsha."
Razor lowered his eyes. I knew this was a bad idea, bringing her to our dimension…why did Donatello have to do that if he was coming back for her? Couldn't he have just dropped her off at a friend's house for a few days?
"Hey, snap out of it, Razor…we're here…"
Jake pressed his lips against Marsha's, holding her close. I can't be doing this! He has me confused with someone else! She thought, trying to break free.
Razor found his way up to his alternate self's room while T-Bone handled his alternate self and kicked down the door. Jake pulled away sharply, glaring at him. "Why you…" he muttered, then smirked. "So…we meet again…"
"Don't you lay a hand on her, you Dark Scum!" Razor declared and stepped forward, trying to get to Marsha who appeared to be in a daze.
"Stay away from MY Marsha, you imposter!" Jake spat out, stepping beside her.
"She's not your Marsha! Kats, she's not even from this dimension! She's from our dimension! I mean…just look at her!" Razor pointed out.
Jake stared at Marsha more. She has been acting strangely, lately…and she hasn't even returned my kisses… He glared act his other half. "Where is MY Marsha?" he demanded, growling.
"She's in our dimension…" Razor started.
"You idiot! You could have brought her with you! Crud! Now we have to leave OUR dimension to go to your filthy goody two shoes one!"
Razor glared at Jake and took Marsha's hand, snapping her out of her trance. "Come on, Marsha…let's get you back home," he started as he lead her out of the room. "The sooner we get you out of here, the sooner you can get back to your normal life," he mumbled.
"Normal life?" She shook her head as she realized that he meant her relationship with Donatello. "Razor…something's wrong…you're just not telling me."
"I can't tell you…I already promised myself that I wouldn't get in the way of yours and Don's relationship, and I'm not gonna interfere," he replied, leading her down the stairs, with the other Jake at his heels.
"But, Razor…I…is it something about me?" she asked as he grabbed T-Bone and half dragged him away from the other Chance, back to the TurboKat.
T-Bone pulled Razor aside. "Razor, you HAVE to tell her. I don't like seeing you this depressed."
"I can't…"
"Tell her, now. I know you want to."
Razor sighed and turned back to Marsha. "Marsha, there's something I have to tell you…" he started.
"Go on…"
Razor reached up and scratched the back of his head, blushing under his helmet. "I…I love you," he whispered, his gaze on the ground.
Marsha looked speechless. "…" She lowered her eyes to the ground. "I don't know what to say…" she whispered.
Razor shook his head. "I'm sorry…I know this is a bad time. Let's get you back home. Donatello's waiting there for you."
T-Bone shook his head as he piloted the TurboKat back to their dimension.
Donatello was pacing back and forth in the living room, waiting for their return. He was glad the other Swat Kats came and took their Marsha, all he wanted was his Marsha…not some other dimensional version of her. His head jerked up upon hearing the front door open. They were back.
"Donny?" A huge smile appeared on his face as he heard her voice. "Donny!" Marsha smiled brightly and rushed over to him, giving him a huge hug. "I've missed you so much!"
"I've missed you even more," Don whispered, returning the hug, kissing her passionately.
Jake watched them for a few seconds, before turning his back on them in disgust. "Jake, I thought you would be okay with this. I mean…look at how happy she is," Chance whispered.
"I know she's happy, Chance. Look, I'll be fine, okay?" Jake sighed and took a seat on the couch. "What's on the TV?" he asked as Chance grabbed the remote.
Chance flashed him a smile. "Scaredy Kat's having a marathon…" Jake just shrugged. "Anything's good right now…even Scaredy Kat," he mumbled.
Marsha stared at Don. "What do you mean we can't go back home for three days?" she asked.
"The portal needs to be recharged in order for us to return home…" he started.
"So…you're saying we have to stay here for three more days?" Don just nodded. Marsha let out a sigh.
"I know how much you want to go back home, Marsha, but, you have to believe me."
"It's not that, Donny…"
Don tilted his head, a bit confused. "Then what is it?"
She looked over at Jake from the corner of her eye and shook her head. "It's nothing, really. Honestly, Donny, I'm relieved you came back for me," she whispered and gave him a kiss.
Jake heard her say this and let out a heavy sigh. "Jake?" Chance asked, watching him stand up.
"I'm fine, Chance. I'm just going to the hangar to do some modifications on the TurboKat," he replied.
"Well, geez…" Chance muttered and continued to watch Scaredy Kat. "Grumpy lately?" he asked, sarcastically to no one in particular.
